Alonso Lázaro is super passionate about skiing and the reason I wanted to have him on is because he is a ski instructor with a deep knowledge of skiing biomechanics. In today’s episode we talk about the basic stance and go over the biomechanics of skiing so you can improve your ability to carve, improve your efficiency on the hill, and have an overall better skiing experience.
